Date: ca. 620-590 B.C..Corinthian potters and painters invented a technique of silhouetted forms that would evolve into the black figures of Athenian vase painting.

A variety of animals- bulls, lions, birds and goats march around the belly of this vase, and multiple rosettes fill the background. Above the queue of exquisite animals is a padded dancer, who stands between two lions. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Jar ". Terracotta with painted decor in black.

Glass jug 245411Ewer with a Feline-Shaped Handle 7th century This ewer demonstrates a continuation of Parthian and Sasanian forms during the early Islamic period in Iran. The lobed forms represent mountains and the vertical lines surmounted by budlike shapes are probably plants. Its overall composition and motifs demonstrate the transition from a figural style to a growing taste for rhythmic repeating patterns. The handle is shaped like an elongated cat peering at the heads of two birds depicted on the rim of the vessel, as though about to pounce.. Ewer with a Feline-Shaped Handle. 7th century.

The elegant form of this jar was built of clay coils and then smoothed to an even base. Used for grains or liquid, this capacious jar is enhanced by bands of clay. The small tapered bottom indicates that this jar was supported either with a separate base or by inserting it into a depression in the ground.

Date: late 4th-early 3rd century B.C..Yellow-slipped pottery is unusual in Apulia but typically occurs in pairs of oinochoai and paterae. The jug served to pour liquids and the patera was one of several shapes used for offerings. The handle of the patera is in the shape of a youth with hands raised; two rams form the transition to the bowl; and a ram's head appears below the youth's feet--a convention for bronze handles since the Archaic period.

They are likely to have been produced between 1770 and 1820 and could have been acquired by a grand tourist to Italy around that time. While earlier, more elaborately designed urns gave the carver the opportunity to display their artistic virtuosity, this plainer example puts the emphasis on the mesmerizing color of the porphyry stone.

(30.8 x 33.7 x 21.6cm), Earthenware with traces of pigment, China, 3rd-2nd century BCE, Silk production, from the rearing of silkworms to weaving silk cloth, was an important source of income to Chinese farming families.

The colors used were red, brown, green, yellow, black, white, orange, and blue.
